Swiss Chard and Sausage

My husband’s family made lots of dinners that revolved around Swiss Chard and Sausage – whether on polenta or in another form. This recipe was all his idea, so he deserves credit, but he was okay with me making it vegetarian. If you are not a vegetarian, feel free to use any Italian sausage that you like.
